Any rotation aimed at flexibility?

[WantFit]

Hi, I am training for marathon in last two years. I became very stiff. I would like to take next 4 weeks to focus on strength and flexibility train. Any suggestions? I have almost every Cathe's DVD except ICY series and Low Impact (I couldn't find it from download and it did not allow me to download again).

Thanks

Daisy

Cathe's December 2011 and her September 2011 rotations have more stretch/flexibility in them than most.

Another idea is to tack the 20 min. Extended Stretch (found on each of the STS DVDs) or one of the 15 min. Stretch Max workouts at the end of your regular cardio or strength workout.

Another suggestion would be to add a 30 minutes kickboxing moderately intense later on
after a pure strength leg segment.
This has proven to work for some of us here

@Jane Power-Grimm , I will dig into those rotations you mentioned.
I was not aware they ever existed. Thanks

Thank you. I will look into Dec and Sep11 rotation..

Thank you. Which kickboxing workout would be moderate?

I personally find the 3 MMA programs (Boxing, Fusion and Kickbox) to be easier than the other Cathe kickboxing programs - moderate IMO.

It depends on your own fitness level. When I want and/or need to increase the intensity
of a kickboxing segment, I wear weighted gloves. 0.5kg

Another way of increasing the intensity is the use of heavy bag

It is up to you to make it as intense as you want and/or need to through variations.
